It's going to be an expensive year :doh: :grin: I am thinking exactly that - medium boost for 380-400hp, rather than flat out and risk breaking a piston :happy2: But it will have a much fatter torque curve than the stock KO4 :smiley:

Lol, expensive indeed, been there.
I've always fitted good parts on mine, that was what kept me from selling and getting one with DSG. But for sure it is cheaper that way. :wink:

I guess if you know the car and it's in great condition, it's a bit of risk starting over with a new car...... and then you would have to repeat the mods all over again! :grin:
And buying a DSG car is too easy! It's more of a challenge and rewarding retrofitting stuff to your own car. It gives it an interesting history :happy2:

Got a 2nd hand TTE420 from a fellow Ed. 30 owner who forged his engine and fitted a really big turbo. Fitted it last week and had the tune tweaked to work with it. It now pulls even better on top end. Got it because it's better than a K04, it had a good price and Niki Gower praised its performance when it was fitted on the Ed. 30 where it came from. :smiley:
Still need to test the improvement on a dyno, but the butt dyno is happy. It's more linear now since it pulls even stronger at the top end. I'll fit an upgraded LPFP just for safety and maybe WMI. I have no lack of fuel on the logs made after the tweak. It should also help decreasing the EGT since I'm not pushing the turbo much, compared with what the K04 was with the new tune.

:grin: :grin: Great news! Looking forward to see the new results. :D

Lol, you kept that quiet Joaquim :grin: You beat me to it!! :drinking:
How does the throttle response / low end performance feel compared to the KO4? I am expecting it to feel a bit laggier?
How old is your TTE420? They changed the compressor wheel to a GTX2871 billet fairly recently, much to the anger of people who had already bought one with the older wheel :grin:
Did the tune need much adjustment? I am thinking of just running mine with Revo 2+ and see what happens. The MAF will self tune to an extent and I can tune the fuel and timing with the SPS.
What FPR do you have in currently? RS4? You may need a 165bar FPR if you push the TTE flat out. A TTRS lift pump would also be a good idea.
